I like this version because it finds lots of humour in what can be a serious tale of war followed by one of harrowing adventures. Watch out for the fierce Achilles being seasick....
You can enjoy this book at any age.
...The Iliad and the Odyssey in this 'comic strip'version by Marcia Williams. These are two of the oldest and most famous stories in the world. Even though they tell of events that can never have happened in a time that never existed, the characters in them behave just like ordinary people - at their best and at their worst. You can read both stories many times and keep finding something new.
